Lot of great PRs are in the mix already but I would like to make the competition by proposing a few more which I feel are super important and not so trivial PRs.
1. https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/56187: almost a quarter worth of effort with close collaboration with myself and jarek, which even identified some gaps with the shared libraries and helped us correct them. 2. https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/58992: required close collaboration with various components: migration, core, task-sdk, and API, and took some effort and a team to deliver this. 3. https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/58669: a difficult task that was handled with finesse, with no side effects. Kudos on the work on this one. Maybe this is a month where we have more than one winner :) Thanks & Regards, Amogh Desai On Tue, Jan 13, 2026 at 8:13 AM Yeonguk Choo <[email protected]> wrote: > There have been many great PRs this month! > > +1 to #58548 > By integrating Playwright-based UI E2E testing into Breeze, > I think it establishes an important starting point for improving both UI > quality and contributor experience. > > Yeonguk > > 2026년 1월 13일 (화) AM 7:48, Jens Scheffler <[email protected]>님이 작성: > > > Oh, this month again a real challenge to pick _one_ only.
